2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KP15 YVG

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 January 2026, though the overall maintenance trend suggests a gradual decline in the attention paid to consumables. While the car has a consistent history of passing, the reappearance of tyre wear advisories and the emergence of an oil leak indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase where more significant preventative maintenance is required to avoid future failures. With a recorded mileage of 78,485 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,135 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting it has not suffered from the extremes of heavy commercial use nor the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing. Consequently, the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals should be consistent with its age, provided the service intervals have been adhered to. A critical point for inspection is the recurring advisory regarding the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edges. This pattern, noted in 2021, 2024, and 2026, strongly suggests a persistent wheel alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressure management. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for abnormal road noise and physically inspect the tread for uneven wear patterns. Furthermore, given the rear brake pads were flagged as thin in 2022, it is essential to verify via service records that these have been replaced to avoid scoring or damage to the brake discs. The most recent advisory regarding an oil leak, while described as not excessive, requires thorough investigation. The buyer should inspect the engine bay for signs of seepage around the gaskets and seals and check the oil level to ensure no significant consumption is occurring. Additionally, for a vehicle of this vintage, it is advisable to inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishability or corrosion. A full review of the service history is recommended to confirm that calendar-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
